Can you name a pro that has never had a serious ski injury? assuming they are over 21, and have been sponsored for a few years, I cant think of anyone. It seems these days you have to injure yourself to progress.

How the fuck do you expect us to know every pro ever and what/any injuries they've had?

Will Wesson. He takes care of himself better than anyone in the business.

Twall broke a bone in his shoulder a while back. Other then that I can't think of any major injuries he had. Lucky dude, considering how he throws down.

Jon Olson. For the amount of skiing he's done I can't think of any serious injuries.

This was my first thought. For as much as he progressed the sport a few years back, it's crazy that he's never blown a knee or been out for a long time. I think it's because he really takes the pressure off himself. In all the videos I've seen, I've noticed he has a tendency to back off stuff when it gets even a little bit gnarly or he isn't feeling it.

yeah. i'd say he's just careful, and never exceeds his ability level.



...lol thats because its impossible to exceed his ability level!!!

He is also in amazing shape and takes his training in the gym very seriously. I guess Jon is really one of the only ones, depending if u count the meniscus surgery. Wallisch and Wesson have both broken bones i believe.
